Think I can make that. Will discuss it on Sunday. Are we meeting up ourselves in the meantime? Can anyone bring a couple of ads to Bray?

Did this ever happen?

The new seats are very well done.
The side walls have been removed from the main stand so the view from the new seats and the old restricted view seats are both good.
In the event of good weather I propose moving the singing section into the new seats immediatly beside the shack.

With no roof though?

Can't resist but only UCD wouls estimate crowd including players allocation. If you include the players on the pitch & coaches thats could be another 50

Pete if you take any pineapple estimate at face value, you're just asking for trouble! "This time next year, we'll be millionaires!"

Hey, I'm an accountant. When it come to projected figures, it's not how accurate they are, it's how much work it looks like you've done so you can bill a higher amount.

Can't quite visualise this at the moment. Taking down the walls of the stand sounds like an awful lot of work! That said, I was thinking that something like that would have to be done or it would be silly. Are there seats either end or the main stand? There's only 20 ft or so between the shack and the main stand as is - how many seats did they get in there? And more importantly, is the shack blocked off at all?

Not that I heard. Combination of you not bringing the posters to Bray, JC's printer being broken (so couldn't print off our ones), AS not getting back to me and me being completely blameless!

Lads, rather then getting down for lack of crowd or publicity or whatever, this is your day as fans of UCD (and DCFC) go to the game have a few pre-match pints and sing your "small club" ars�s off! Enjoy yourselves and fcuk everyone else!!!

Cheers Drum, you're right. However we'll take one last stab at drumming up some extra supporters tomorrow.

Why the DCFC mention? Different club, or hadn't you noticed?

**Poor Student** · 19/09/2005, 7:59 PM

Dublin City, well they are wannabe UCD, check out their colours.

**Drumcondra Red** · 19/09/2005, 9:52 PM

No way. We're still clinging to the hope that Derry will field an U21 team as it's only the league cup.

I was in Mondello on Sunday so that's why I wasn't around to get the posters done.

Who's down? I'm buzzing about this and if no one turns up, that won't change.

**Drumcondra Red** · 20/09/2005, 10:23 AM

Whoopdi-do for you, but read back, you are also looking to increase crowds there Schumi!!

Tickets for the matche are selling extremely well. Derry City have sold out their entire initial allocation of 300 stand tickets and at least a further 100 Derry City fans are expected to travel and purchase tickets on the night.

UCD have already sold 500 tickets of their stand allocation as well as practically all their schoolboy allocation. Tickets are selling fast from outlets around the Belfield campus in this, Freshers Week, including the UCD Sports Centre, restaurant and from the UCD Soccer stand in the Arts Block.

A limited number of stand tickets (�15 adults, �10 concession (Student, OAP etc) and �5 schoolchildren) are still available. contact UCD FC on 01 716 2142 for details.

All remaining stand tickets and ground (standing) tickets at �10 for adults (no concessions) and �5 for schoolchildren will be on sale from ticket kiosks on Foster's Avenue and outside the ground from 6.30pm night.

From the FAI site

I would say their estimation of the 100 Derry fans without tickets is right. Plenty of people here in Derry don't have tickets, as witnessed by the number of people ringing me in the last 24 hours. I don't have a ticket, very few of the Belfast SC or the Dublin SC have tickets and I would be very confident of us having over 400 at the game tonight
